About Us

Two Decades of Service, Millions of Lives Changed

Sewak India was founded on a simple belief — that every Indian deserves dignity, opportunity, and care.

Our Story

From One Village to a National Movement

Sewak India began in 2005 when a small group of volunteers set out to address the acute lack of healthcare access in rural Rajasthan. What started as weekend medical camps quickly grew into a structured organisation with a clear mission: to serve India's most underserved communities with dignity and accountability.

Over two decades, we have expanded our work to cover education, livelihood support, and women's empowerment — building programmes that are community-led, evidence-based, and designed for lasting impact.

Today, Sewak India operates across 12 states, partnering with local governments, CSR foundations, and international agencies to reach over 250,000 lives every year.
